I'd say that's not too bad considering I bought mine used as well & a salvage one at that for $10.5K roughly 4 yrs ago w/ about 72K miles. It's got 109K miles now w/o any issues whatsoever (knock on wood). Although some folks do report tranny problems w/ our cars, there are some that have no issues. btw, welcome to the site! Lots of info to be had here...try posting some pics once you've decided on purchasing & gl with your decision. Oh, also see if you can find an '03 CLS due to the 6 speed manual!!!

 

i got mine 6 months ago 95k for $9500 if it helps

 

i got mine salvage with 74k for 8.8k. included extras too.

watch out for the tranny. drive it and see exactly how it feels. if theres something wrong or weird, dont buy it.

 

mine 01 CLS, 108K Salvage for Under 3K. I dnt know any issues yet....I just started driving I'd advice take it easy on the throttle.

How is your Driving habits? Easy, Mid or Pedal to the Metal?,

wait, what?!!! oh! you meant: ".R, ?lateM eht ot ladeP ro diM, ysaE ?stibah gnivirD ruoy si woH"

ok gotcha!

 

forget that piece. buy a CL-P with comptech headers and CAI from me if your by chicago...sounds better and a tiny bit faster plus no problems yet at 64,000 [k.o.w.]

 

i foind a black on black cls 6speed w/ 98k for 12,000 at a local dealer. im going to talk to him in the am. trying to get it for 10k out the door. lets see if he'll bite. BTW thanks for the welcome and info

 

i got mine for $10 950 with 136 000Km, so im assuming you're talking about 140k miles...or else i got ripped

 

you could probably shoot for 11 and be successful. damn man I wish I had found a 6 speed when I was shopping around. G/L keep us posted

 

why take it easy on the throttle? to save gas?

 

wow, thats a lot of miles

 

I'd say I drive somewhere in between mid to pedal to the metal....lol
Put it this way, I don't "baby" my car, I guess it just depends on the driving conditions & who's in the car w/me....

 

I have a little over 130k on my '01, and it has been the best car I have ever owned!~ I bought it with almost 120k miles, and still no problems. (knock on wood!)
And, if you compare it to other cars in its class, feature for feature, for the price, the CL is just amazing! Just make sure you get the service records if possible, and get the CarFax.
Price sounds about right.
Good Luck!

 

I think I may upgrade to a CLS too since the 350Z insurance may be higher than I want...just to be clear the tranny problems are only on the autos?? or auto cls??

 

^ all autos

 

I've got an 01 auto, black on black with 110K..got it with 72K and put on mainly highway miles (michigan to VA for school)..havent had any problems besides replacing broken engine mounts. I'm lookin to sell it tho, i can't afford it at the moment :-\

 

My 01' CLS auto had 120k miles on it when i got it 3 months ago. Clean title, 2nd owner, for $6,800 at Piazza Acura of Reading. Ive had no problems with the tranny let alone anything with the car.
